I actually trained earlier than i would normally, being in the gym for 11am.
This was because i had a chiropracter session earlier in the morning & thought it was crazy to take 2 trips into town in the space of a few hours. Plus training earlier gave the chance to get other things done, including my Facebook page, which if you haven't clicked 'LIKE' on already you can do so HERE!! ALSO for those that enjoy 140 characters or less of fitness, join me on twitter HERE!!
Anyway, after some brutal massage & clicks/pops in various places i was in the gym ready to do some damage to the 'pipes'!!!
With a quality tracklisting all ready to aid my arm destruction, i hit the Standing EZ Bar Bicep curls, going as heavy as i could manage, whilst maintaining strict form for 10 reps. I performed 4 sets of this, deciding against drop sets as i knew what else i had in store.
I then moved on to a Triceps exercise, again using the EZ bar. Skullcrushers, with the head slightly off the bench to enable me to get really deep with the negative portion of the exercise. Again, i went as heavy as i could manage whilst keeping form, which is important when you have a bar hovering above your forehead!!
From there i moved on to another combination of Biceps & Triceps exercises.
If you've been following the blog this week, you'll notice i like to do exercises in pairs. Well, i particularly enjoy doing that with arms, as all the blood flow is in this area, which gives a great pump.
On this particular occasion i utilised the cable station, with one side set up with a bar for lying cable bicep curls & the other side set up for Rope Pulldowns, 3 sets of each bouncing from one side to the other with the rest being the opposite exercise.
By this point i was definitely feeling the pump!
Next up was crucifix cable curls, again using the cable station. I may have to train at this time more often, as the gym was far less busy than the usual times i'm there!
The next triceps exercise for me was machine pushdowns, where on this occasion i used the drop set method to really accentuate the pump.
The final bicep exercise i performed was machine preacher curls. Unfortunately, my gym doesn't have a preacher bench, so i am unable to do the 'Deadman Bicep Curls' i like to do. However, i try to ensure as little momentum as possible, with no leaning back at all.
My final exerise was for the triceps & was machine pushdowns.
This is an exercise i am able to go really heavy on & i ensured that i pushed myself fully.
By the end, my arms were pumped up to beyond bursting point, with the vascularity on show for all to see!
Again, the Training Log is below, with my supplements no different to the rest of the week.
